Afghan students flock to India's universities

[Joe Shearer]

Its constitutionally defined at 5%. Its not removed from anywhere else. Also, for your information this typically goes unutilised.

The objective of this program is not to bring change now. The amount of goodwill created by students who have studied and left is not calculable. Take a simple example on this forum. People from Pakistan who have traveled abroad and studied in another culture have a better appreciation of that culture. So in a simple phrase. It works. Takes time, but. works.

Like I said in my first fact. We are not.

And why should we take the decision on whether they will want to study or not. If they don't want to, it anyway goes back to the general quota. To give you an example, the person debunking the myth of languages is a Pakistani, not an American or foreigner.

Would be nice to know @Joe Shearer view on this.

Could not agree with you more. There has been some considerable discussion within our own university about this article, with some professors asking indignantly why we don't get more of these young people to study with us. I am in the middle of writing a report for the Council on our enrolment methods and possible changes, but if I can, I will add some extracts from internal memos on this subject.

This is a Pakistani drama of a guy meeting a girl from India(not really, actress is Nadia Khan), but they are speaking hindi.

I got no idea what they are saying.

There must be some reason why the lady is speaking in such a peculiar way. Nobody, NOBODY, except perhaps some Hindi pedants teaching the language, or characters in a mythological, speaks like this.

The mythological Ramayana gave this kind of usage a wide airing. Guess who wrote the dialogue?

as i said they are just 5000 now let them be 550,000 and than come back to the table and brag about it.
you think we don't have afghans studying at your unis? well the thing is so common here that we don't even need to brag about it. tell you what do you know how many afghans / pushtuns run businesses across the border? no you don't my dear.
on the other hand i still think why theef any sane person would come to india when they have a clear chance to going to Europe, canada. as i said they are offering them places on half fees and don't ask me how many afghans have migrated there....so dream on baby

The jealousy is evident since Afgans are killing your soldiers and doing the so called "cross-border-attacks".You are getting the millions who are ruining your country since you are responsible for ruining their country

It doesn't matter how many you have got but you make them terrorist.We would send them with educational degrees which matters(unlike Pakistani degrees which are useless)

So be jealous.

Please check number of Indian students with Indian degrees studying abroad and number of Indians with Indian degrees working in MNCs globally.

than why is it that many indians or shall i say punjabis are running to uk/europe on student visa

 

[Guynextdoor2]

is this not what you guys want? what happened to offering strategic support and doig business with afghanistan? come;on foreign students generate revenue don't you know?

if 55,000 afghan students who are coming here to study and nothing negative, then it is a noble cause in which India should help out. Revenue is a relative thing. India's prime concern would be whether our institutions atre geared to provide our own massive demand and a large influx of foreign students at the same time. India is too big to be concerned with large revenue gains through this influx. We can be flexible.

i am not sure how you guys going to handle it. but as far as Western institutes are conecerend than they opt to offer more seats to foreign students as number of home/local students going university has taken a hit due to economic downturn and hike in university fees. I am sure india will look at it as generating a small amount of revenue more than looking at it to stabilize the region. hope for the best, lets wait and watch

That has nothing to do with Indian degrees or their recognition per so. Which is what your earlier post seemed to say.

If you are able to get into an IIT, NIT, REC or a good engineering college the number of mncs waiting to lap you up is not funny. These students do go abroad for a much more specialised education abroad.

The few who happen to have sponsors or money and are not able to getinto a good institute go abroad. The same applies for management education.

In India, education is cheap cause govt is subsidizing it, heavily. It is actually a loss for the govt to have more students. And generally a student doesn't spend so much as to contribute to the gdp that the subsidy losses by the govt gets balanced. If at all the Afghan students remain in India, and contribute to the economy would they be a revenue source, albeit small. Otherwise it is just losses of revenue for the govt. That means govt would have no motivation of generating revenues from them.

Even if they dont wear traditional dress you can point an Afghan even among billions of Indians

You are shining beacon of intellectual standards of Pakistanis in this forum.I salute thee and plead you to keep showering your wise and noble observation on us humble Indians.

I've seen Arabs, Iranians, Africans and even NRIs coming to India to study. Afghans are good people. They are welcome.

 

[tards]

students from around the world are welcomed to study in Indian university.

They're welcomed to study in India as long as they leave after their education, because a lot of these students stay in India illegally afterwards.

This is great news. We welcome students from Afghanistan and those from anywhere else on the planet.


Everyone's welcome here.

Jai Hind

You mean Jai Bharat.

Hind is the Arabic and Persian word that originally referred to the Land of the Indus.
